I'd research the particular aircraft's history and paint it in a scheme it wore at some point during it's service. If it didn't have a service record, I'd have a P-51D in in 20th FG markings, simply because I have yet to see a warbird painted in that scheme. If a P-51B, then "Short Fuse Salle" of the 354th FG.

Wow, what a great variety everyone! :D

If I had a -51 I would paint it in the markings of the 325th FG. However, the aircraft would be polished not painted silver.

I don't know...I remember seeing a P-51 at Oshkosh 81....it belonged to a Canadian.....I can't remember his name...Gary??? Anyway, it was in a civilian paint scheme....glossy black with silver cheat lines....I thought that was really a tough look...

Donald Strait's mount "Jersey Jerk" from the 356th Fighter Group. I'm just hoping that no one picks this paint scheme for the next 25 years so that when I can finally afford a Mustang it won't be a duplicate.
